Advantages: Powerfull, Highly Expandable, Lots of accesories

Disadvantages: Battery can drain fast on video playing, Internet doesnt fit on the screen

I scrimped and saved for my Ipaq 2210, and have enjoyed every momet we are together. Principally I use it as a media player, making full use of Media Player 9 for PPC. I have a bluetooth wireless connection to my pc, so am able to stream content to the Ipaq from the media player site. I also watch video's on it. I have a 1 gb CF memory card, and watch films when on the treain for long journeys. The PPC also has lots of other features, inlcuding...

400Mhz processor, faster than some desktops!
64mb RAM
CF and SD Slot
Solitaire!!!!
Word and Excel
Email program
NEVO (Explain later)


The main feature of this machine is its resemblance to windows XP. This makes it familiar, and if you download SBP Pocket Plus (Pay for sadly) It has a better home view screen and quick change themes. Everything normally associatedwith windows in the list is the same, but cut down and in pocket versions!

Nevo is a remote control program, that comes with other pocket pc's. It can control any appliance that has a remote control associated with it, and is handy for when you're settled infront of the tv with a beer and a pizza and realise the controls out of arms reach.

There are mountains of accesories avaliable for it, and I reccomend getting the screen protectors and metal case, as these help save the screen.

I bought a wireless SD card for it, and succesfully got through to the internet on the glasgow express from Kings x and had 7 hours browsing before the battery needed charging, although the one problem with the internet is that the sites require lots of scrolling to view on the small screen, but this is only a small problem. Google do a PPC search engine, which pops up when you open it up.

With the 2210, you get the desk cradle, which if, like me you like your desk to look proffesional and clean, it cant be beat. You also get Outlook 2000 with it, although it may have been updated since i bought mine (March 04)

All in all, I would highly reccomend it from personal use, and I am starting to use it proffesionally at work too, loading stock lists on and ticking if we have the amount of stock etc. Works well
